What a race last weekend! Wellington bows out. Reminiscent of the Scott vs. Allen 1989 IronWar, McCormack and Raelert go tactical in the last few miles, and Macca’s experience wins out. Carfrae powers her way past Dibens in the marathon. Lost in the post-race hoopla, Carfrae finishes in 8:58, only four minutes behind Wellington’s 2009 world record pace. Enjoy these TriCenter highlights, and get ready for next year. RACE ON.

While rain, wind and snow! continue to pelt our region, here are a few uplifting video clips from last weekend’s Ironman 70.3 Kansas race. Need a motivational supplement? A dose of Chrissie Wellington’s smile and her enthusiasm for our sport does the trick. The Wizard of Oz, the Yellow Brick Road are the supporting cast. Yes, believe it, prepare for it, the sun will shine this summer in Montana, and the tri season will actually get underway. Get ready. Passion will qualify you. Train on.
